Consider the setup shown below: a block with mass m1 sits on a table with friction coefficient µ between the table and itself, attached on one side to a spring with stiffness k, and on the other side to a cord with negligible mass that wraps over a frictionless pully and supports a second block with mass m that's suspended in the air over the edge of the table. If the friction between block 1 and the table is not enough to hold up block 2 (so that the spring has to stretch), how far is the spring stretched when the system comes to rest? k m2
Consider the setup shown below: a block with mass m1 sits on a table with friction coefficient ? between the table and
itself, attached on one side to a spring with stiffness k, and on the other side to a cord with negligible mass that wraps
over a frictionless pully and supports a second block with mass m2 that’s suspended in the air over the edge of the table.
If the friction between block 1 and the table is not enough to hold up block 2 (so that the spring has to stretch), how far
is the spring stretched when the system comes to rest?
